Hi Everybody!
Today we had a whole day with no rain. It was frosty cold all day, just great for walking. But don't worry, tomorrow will be wet and windy again!
I have another tag for Joan's challenge at Tag Tuesday:
And this is a WIP, an A3 book I am making to store art pages, with lots of gold, embossing, leaves which were hand-cut and sewn on etc. I hope I will sooner or later have time to finish it:
It's cold and wintry, the Rhine is full of cold water, and the water fowl love it:
And this little robin was sitting on the railing. Sorry, the pic is a bit fuzzy:
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
I am glad that your walk took you down by the river, Valerie, so that you could bring us this wonderful array of bird pictures. Great stuff,
ReplyDeleteThanks David. It's always great to walk along the Rhine.
DeleteHi Val, hope you had a great day. We had a party at the Kita, fun but very sticky. Love the pretty tag, and the book is coming along really well, it's fabulous. Great photos, too, the birds all look happy and contented. We're expecting bad weather here, too. Still, what to do? We can't change it. Hugs, Sarah

What great shots of your beautiful fowls.
ReplyDeleteAs always, you did a wonderful job of your pieces. That first one just shouts a warm and cozy Christmas.

Hi! Wonderful photos of birds- I love birds. But your journal is fantastic! The texture, the shine and shape of the leaves. Quite lovely. That TV series is interesting, yes it is. A samll window into our future!
ReplyDeleteI will see if I can get it here.
DeleteMany times we strolled along the Rhine and at the winter season, it's just gorgeous! Lovely walk and the birds are so sweet and your ATG/tag is just gorgeous! So festive and I love the storybook look to it!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how the birds withstand the cold. Beautiful tag and book cover.
ReplyDeleteYou are right. I always wonder how the heron can stand for hours in that icy water!
DeleteFabulous bird photos Valerie. And that book cover is pretty spectacular. I also like the tag. It feels wonderfully country and my kind of Christmas. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteFine tag here my friend, the gorgeous book cover is well, amazing...lovely post.xx
ReplyDeleteYour tag is at least trying to put me in the mood for Christmas. I LOVE the tree and the packages are filled with hope for a better world.
ReplyDeleteYour journal cover is perfect for the holidays, too. You can't get enough glitz and glitter this time of year.
I love the new blog header. Although I love all birds, my favorite are the black swans and how rare they are.
They are always fascinating to watch, and I love to visit them!
DeleteOH! Bist du nach Perth gezogen?! Schöne schwarze Schwäne, gibt´s die auch bei uns?
ReplyDeleteSchönes Tag, so dreidimensional.
So wie das folgende, toll!
Möwen :-) Die vermiss ich!
Eine Cousine wurde mal von einem weißen Schwan gebissen. Dem Geschrei nach zu urteilen tat´s weh ;-)
Dir trotz des Wetters (na, noch ist es dunkel) einen schönen Tag und GlG, Iris
Wir haben viele schwarze Schwäne hier in D'dorf, meistens in Hofgarten, wo sie gut gepflegt werden. Ich mag sie sehr.
DeleteMe ha encantado el libro está muy bien trabajado, digno para guardar tus páginas de arte... el tag navideño muy simpático.. tiene regalos nieve...👏👏
ReplyDeleteBESOS...Las fotos del paseo preciosas!!
Muchas gracias!
ReplyDeleteso stunning birds:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos.
ReplyDeletePiękne są te fotografie ptaków. Rudzik to cudowny ptaszek bardzo go lubię jest malutki ale śliczny:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lucyna. Robins are very beautiful, one comes every day to my balcony to feed.
DeleteI like the photos. They are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour tag is so pretty and the book cover is awesome. So sparkly. You got some great close-up shots of the birds. My favorite is that little robin. So sweet.
ReplyDeleteI do love your bird close-ups! And it's fun seeing your robin, so different from the ones we have here.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are also much smaller than the American ones.
DeleteYour bird photos are amazing-I love those-I just have an old digital camera and so far can't get too close or they fly away.
ReplyDeleteLovely tag and your book is very awesome! Happy mid week hugs Kathy
Love your tag, so pretty! In here it's been very frosty today, but it's nice!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos of the birds and gorgeous art Valerie! Great textures on your book cover!
ReplyDeleteAlison xx
Thanks Alison!
DeleteSome fabulous bird images, so sharp and crystal clear! And oh my! That journal is going to be stunning. It IS stunning. And what a perfect spot for your beautiful art!
ReplyDeletePiękny tag. Dziękuję za wspaniały wirtualny spacer i cudne zdjęcia natury!
ReplyDeletePozdrawiam z Polski, Alina
Oh those birds look amazing, I always think that they must be so cold at this time of year with only feathers for warmth. I love your festive tag, and your album looks wonderful, very strokable. Have a very happy week, Sue xx
ReplyDeleteWow, thats an awesome cover for your art pages, the textures and gold look gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIts a super bool mark as well, its a lovely winter scene in the background.
Super photos of the water birds, they look like they are posing for their photos to be taken.
Yvonne xx
I do like your tag, and your album looks great …
ReplyDeleteYou have many 'stars' on your post today!
The birds, swans, heron and sweet robin (my favourite bird) are all WONDERFUL.
All the best Jan
Fab Tag Valerie..and as always some amazing photos too...xx
ReplyDeletethe christmas tag is beautiful. and your book? wow! xo
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tag Valerie! Wow to your a3 book cover! It's enormous and so beautiful and sparkly....perfect! Loving your bird photos. My Christmas gifts for my Mother-in-law are all robin related. Her late husband loved birds so I thought it would be nice for her.
ReplyDeleteyes I have missed you - your art - your cooking and your wonderful pictures. I see more on your blog than I actually saw on our short cruise down the Rhine. They sailed all night and docked during the day. Tons of rain which made the cold seem colder. And tons of people - wow!
ReplyDeleteYour tag is beautiful and I love your book! WOW!!! Love seeing all the birds! I wanted to hug that little robin!!! Big Hugs!
